I love that when Sal described Barbara Gordon, he just described Tiffany.

[@eMOTIvE120]

I was thinking the exact same thing when it showed Barbara's picture lol

[@danielavvollanum1917]

Watching The Batman in cinemas the other day (no spoilers), I couldn't help but smiles at all the small details from this book, that clearly inspired the new movie - like Martha being an Arkham, Batman messing up sometimes etc. A solid mix of Earth One and Zero Year, I think.

[@mutalemwananshiku4098]

Also some of long halloween.

[@lexofpower2822]

And Year One and a hint of Ego

[@elderrusty541]

I read Earth-One after watching the film and I had a stupid grin when Batman told Oz “I’m Vengance!”

[@metaloverload7374]

His first time gliding comes to mind.

[@dwbmotorsports1]

My thoughts exactly! And Todd Phillip's Joker would fit perfect in this Earth One universe

The whole video Sal is positive and enjoying himself. But in the last 2 minutes "Fuck Bane, who likes Bane, he's crappy." Aww.

Geoff Johns has a special place in my heart. He got me into comics with his Green Lantern run. He also turned Booster Gold into the amazing character he is now. Although nobody seems to know what to do with Booster sadly...

[@hooliganmulligan]

Hey me too! Great to see another johns recruit.

[@trevormerritt548]

I know exactly what to do give him a book with blue beetle and have them go through radical time adventures

[@comicbookfan8571]

Geoff Johns is a great writer along with Grant Morrison who's run on Justice League got me into liking Justice League a lot. Also I have to admit Knightfall still remains a special place in my heart. It was the first story I ever read when I was a kid. Imagine a ten year old who never has read a batman comic and use to seeing him on Animated Series on fox. The first issue he reads is where Bane breaks his back. Welcome to comics kid.

[@jeff8008]

Don't let me be the guy to tell ComicPOP how to do things, but where I come from, you go for the most experienced person in the room and you pop him right in the face. Yeah, yeah I punched Grandpa in the face. Whatcha gonna do about it? I'M THE GOD DAMN BATMAN!

[@sizzlewizzle8886]

Jeff Batista 😂😂😂

[@hauntedconsol]

We got him boys we know the true identity of Batman it’s Jeff

[@oatmat]

I feel that they actually went even more realistic with this than the Christopher Nolan films

[@fynnthefox9078]

Can't argue there. As much as I love the Nolan trilogy, it can get a little unrealistic.

[@svrmaster103]

i wish this comic continued

[@sciencefantastic]

Yea. “Microwave Emitter” and nuclear reactor time bomb anyone? Also the fact that Dark Knight is just Michael Man’s Heat with Batman characters is just a little silly. A little.

[@dbzking02]

44:09 Wow, Sal! Way to bury the lead!

[@julianhumphries2721]

Hmmm... sleep, or Back Issues? That's a difficult question.... let me just click play while I ponder it...

Tiffany's reaction at 40:08 was priceless. Not to mention her reaction to the notion of a "rape room". I laughed so hard at this whole episode. Great job and thank you Tiffany for bringing smiles to my face.

[@r.babylon2885]

Somehow, no idea how... I KNEW that Penguin would be the mayor. Weirdest thing, just idly thinking that Penguin was the mayor and Sal says, "Mayor Cobblepot".

[@kdean_art1066]

2:37-2:45 is what played through my mind when i first saw Battinson and I AM HERE FOR IT. Coming back to rewatch this (for the fifth or sixth time) before “The Batman” drops in 2 days….as it gives MAJOR Earth One vibes. SO glad they’re pulling from a pretty good series (even if it only has 3 volumes for Batman) and I hope, if they do a Superman in this universe, they use J. Michael Straczynski’s take as the template. As always, thank you ComicPop for just always being great

[@MysticalGreenBeanie]

16:53 well people, it's been confirmed. tiffany is frank miller in disguise

[@supernerd5781]

That lighter interrogation gag literally made me laugh like the Joker.

I come back here after seeing the batman.

[@michaeltetteh7188]

15:46, that look Sal did looked EXACTLY like the "dancing man" that got fat shamed for dancing. lol

[@threecolourstrilogy]

Earth One Volume 2 is one of my favourite Batman stories of all time. It's like Nolan, it's fresh, and entertaining as hell. In short, PLEASE DO VOL 2.

[@OreoBrawl]

Sal's impression of Gordon at the end reminds me of the one from Gotham

Ben and Tiffany’s righteous indignation at Gordon being on the take made me laugh so hard.

[@vesonator]

This kinda reminded me of Kickass; (semi)realistic take on superheroes/vigilantes where the protagonist is still finding his footing and there's some luck involved when it comes to taking out the enemy

[@quincy9213]

Vesko Hristov the difference is that batman year one is actually good

[@noahgordon1367]

This is one of my favorite episodes you guys have done. Not only are you guys having fun, but you also make the book seem really good. Can't wait to pick it up!

[@HollyTellingStories]

I love Batman Earth One. I especially enjoy the Harvey Bullock/Jim Gordon dynamic and how weird it is.

[@shreeanshrajsharma8328]

no studio would make it huh , oh sal if only you knew what kind of batman movie we were getting which was inspired by this as well

[@ArvynnTababa]

This totally convinced me to finally buy this book at the university bookshop earlier before going to my class.. thanks guys!!

[@davidesterley3163]

That's awesome how Alfred just blew Cobblepot away, classic.

[@cyberavenger2262]

There are still 2 weeks before Arkham Knight comes out, Sal!

[@comicpop]

Nicolae Alexandru Whoops! Thought it was this week for some reason.

[@ImperiusRex]

Birthday boy seemed like such an odd choice for the serial killer in this. Would've preferred someone a little less hulking beasty, like Zsaz or someone. Overall though, we really dug the new take on the character, and some of the really inspired elements like kick ass Alfred and "experiencing technical difficulties" Batman. Plus, Gary Frank on artwork is more than enough to give it a buy, even if Johns wrote it with his feet.

[@thegirlwiththedragonballzt5955]

I love that we are getting to see tiff more !

ComicPOP! Gordon: "You will remember me! I'm not afraid anymore! Because i'm the god damn Commissioner Man!" This book sounds awesome. Good vid guys. Although sometimes I suspect Sal has too much power because his story telling abilities are so strong, he can convince anyone of the quality (or lack thereof) of any comic. That's his superpower. He's the god damn Storytelling Man! lol

[@sunchywunchy9461]

please, volume 2 is AWESOME.

[@johnny2003]

This sounds like most of the plot of the Gotham TV show. Also great info withholding of the Penguin being mayor til the end.

How do you guys not have more subscribers? This channel is fucking awesome!

[@comicpop]

Thanks, UV!

[@UltimateVictory88]

ComicPOP! No problem. Just curious though, you think you guys will be doing a review on the new Spawn comics? I know Spawn has been played out for many years now. And I know you guys already did a lengthy review on Spawn comics in general. Just wanted to get your overall impressions of the new "reboot" of sorts? Thanks.

[@LateNightHalo]

I'm WAY more interested in this batman than any other... batman is a rather dull character so I like seeing a more "humanized" batman that isn't "the smartest superheroz ever and he can beat superman and save the world single handedly cuz hez super smartz" I'm looking forward to seeing more of this batman!

Interesting take. I like the idea of "Batman if Batman weren't sacred". Obviously, I think we all prefer our Batman of the "goddamn" variety, but it's nice to make believe. :) In other news, I'm hoping to sell some old 360 games to make the scratch for Arkham Knight, that'd be one hell of an Off The Rack episode though.
